The wheelie bars and hitch I had a friend build for me. Machinest buddies. Zach Kerber cut the writing out in the front crossmember and under trans wieght box. I built everything else. Working on the steering tower now.

I see you used the right sheet metal...John Deere oh yeah.  :lol:  if its green its mean if its red its dead.  It looks great.  When I pulled garden tractors we had like 10 extra sets of those rails.  Also that shop seems like it might be alittle cold in the winter with no insulation
